Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times, and what happens when he says, I'm a failure.
--S. I. Hayakawa

What happens to us when we call ourselves names like "failure" or "dummy"? We feel we're no good and never will be. We want to stop trying because we think we'll flub up again.

But what if we begin to use different words to describe the same results? It won't change the results, but it will change us. And it will change the way we see our actions and ourselves.

Just by changing the words we use we can feel better about ourselves. Saying, "I've failed three times," means we'll try again and again and again until we succeed. It means we know God doesn't make any failures or dummies. It means God is always with us, loving us and helping us, even when trying seems difficult.

What can I change my thinking about today?

Morning Richard. W'as happinin?

Good post. And yup. We pick ourselves up--dust ourselves off--and keep trying.

Its the old saying" Yu keep stepping out in front of turnip trucks, your gonna get the same results."

Walk on the sidewalk--its safer. lol
